From DIY to Designer Finish in This Meridian Kitchen

September 5, 2025

A sleek cabinet makeover with soft-close upgrades and a professionally painted finish


When this Meridian homeowner reached out, they had already attempted to repaint their kitchen cabinets on their own—but weren’t happy with how things were turning out. They knew they wanted a crisp, professional look and upgraded functionality. That’s where our cabinet refinishing team stepped in.


We refinished all 16 cabinet doors and 14 drawer fronts in a rich charcoal hue, paired with new soft-close micro hinges to give the entire space a polished, high-end feel. The darker tone added contrast and elegance, creating the elevated finish they had originally envisioned.


The Scope

A full kitchen cabinet repaint with soft-close hardware installation


This project included:

  • 16 cabinet doors
  • 14 drawer fronts
  • Removal of old hinges and installation of new soft-close micro hinges

All surfaces were cleaned, sanded, primed, and professionally sprayed using our factory-grade cabinet finish system for long-term durability and a beautiful satin sheen.


The System

A smooth, durable finish designed for everyday use


We used a premium 2K waterborne polyurethane system from Gemini that cures harder and holds up better than traditional lacquer finishes. Unlike pre-cat lacquers or conversion varnishes that may yellow or crack over time, this cabinet-grade system resists chipping and stays looking new for years to come.

The Impact

From uneven DIY to a flawless, factory-grade look


The finished kitchen now has the cohesive, designer-level finish the customer was after from the beginning. The new hardware and deeper cabinet color elevated the space while improving the function and feel of everyday use.
